I am a licensed therapist with a background in the holistic healing of mind, body, and spirit. I am certified in EFT and Matrix Reimprinting, and a graduate of the Hakomi Method. If you feel powerless, fearful, overwhelmed, or inadequate, it doesn't have to be that way. My work is appropriate for those with mental health challenges, as well as for those who want to explore their deeper life purpose. Ioffer a complimentary strategy session on my website, www.StandingInYourPower.com.

Is something getting in the way of living the life you want to live? Combining life experience, training and professional expertise, I can help as you face the challenges of a chronic illness, pain, grief and loss including life transitions, and the aftermath of a traumatic impactful event or a history of trauma (including physical, emotional and sexual trauma), depression, anxiety, feelings of overwhelm and relationship issues.

With training in western psychology and eastern philosophy, and as a chaplain, I offer an individualized approach integrating emotional, physical and spiritual, and grounded in empathy, caring and compassionate healing - using cutting-edge interventions such as Brainspotting and EMDR, and expertise in mindfulness practices, neuroscience, attachment and family dynamics.

Heal your past for the last time. Trauma and depression requires more than just talk. Most traditional talk therapies do not go deep enough. Relief comes but only lasts a short while. I use Somatic Experiencing and EMDR to reach the core of your being to create lasting change. This is because it works on the deepest past of your consciousness and nervous system. Once that is healed, then we can change the emotions and thought patterns.

My focus is helping people understand their strengths and weaknesses, successes and losses, and learn from what they have experienced in the world. I strive to help my clients affirm their purpose in life and achieve their future goals. I help clients to understand and explore their beliefs and adjust them to meet their current goals.
